Chapter Eleven: Not Edited.

I still had a long time before Ryder was going to pick me up so I decided to hang out with Ashton for awhile at his house without Michael being there. I needed to get my mind off certain things and I know that Ashton could help with that. I got into my car and started to drive off towards his modern looking home that was close to my house.

I pulled up to the house and saw someones car in the driveway and it didn't look like Ashton's or Michael's. I was curious to see who it was and my answer was revealed when Luke walked out of the front door of their house with a black jacket on. I saw the familiar dirty blonde boy standing by his door when I stepped out of my car, catching the attention of both Luke and Ashton.

"I'm glad you could come over." I heard Ashton speak once I got closer to his front steps. I was caught of guard when the taller boy engulfed me into a tight hug and to be honest I almost melted in it and I could feel vibration coming from his chest as the boy chuckled lightly.

"Me to." I laughed when he let me go and lead me inside his house without saying goodbye to Luke first. "Why was Luke here?" I was curious on why he was here. I didn't know they were friends because I knew Michael and him were.

"I asked him to do something for me." Ashton told me and I nodded in understanding. "So you sounded upset on the phone and I want to know who I need to beat up?" The boy said as he tried to sound tough but failed miserably and caused us to both burst out laughing. We tried so hard to calm now but it didn't help when I almost fell off his bed and that caused him  to laugh even more.

"Shut up Ashton." I said, trying to look serious but I ended up biting my lip with a smile on my face. "I need to stop laughing because my stomach is starting to hurt." I wiped a tear off my cheek and I took a deep breath to calm down my heart rate that was beating fast.

"Okay, okay. I'm calm now." I saw him take a deep breath before his face turned serious. "Now please tell me what is wrong." I sighed because I don't know if I was ready to tell him about the notes because I didn't want to loose him as a friend. Niall didn't take it good and now I lost him because he has been avoiding me lately.

"I think I better show you what has been bothering me." With that being said I reached into my purse and pulled out some of the notes that 'Red' has been giving me and I handed them over to Ashton who furrowed his eyebrows when he took them out of my hand.

"What are these?" He asked as I watched him skim over each note with a confused expression on his face. "Are these love notes?" I nodded in his direction and he started to hum as he continued to read them. "Calum, what is wrong with this? Why is this bothering you so much?"

Here it goes.

"Ashton. These notes haven't stopped. I mean I get them every day and their starting to get more detailed if you know what I'm saying." I said, looking down at my lap as I continued to tell him my issues. "At first I thought it was a sweet gesture but now I'm not so sure."

"I see. Do you know who is sending them?" Ashton asked as he looked at me with raised eyebrows and then they narrowed when I shook my head no. "Weird. Have you been feeling vulnerable when you get them?"

"Yes, and I get the feeling now that I'm being watched all the time." I spoke with honestly and I remembered what happened at the mall with Ivy and Harry.  "You're being followed?" Ashton asked as he handed me back the notes that I hated so much. "When was the last time you felt that way?"

"This afternoon when I was heading to the mall." I shivered when I felt that feeling coming back. "That wasn't the only thing that happened." I raised my head to look at my friend who was waiting for me to continue. "I was at lunch with Harry and Ivy and we saw someone in the parking lot looking at us with their phone."

"What the hell?" Ashton said as I saw him starting to get angry. "I'm sorry but that is considered stalking now." I never seen him angry before and this new side of him was pretty scary and I didn't want him to do anything he would regret. "Did you see his face or anything that you could tell the police?" He let out a sigh when I shook my head back and forth.

"It will be okay Cal" I smiled when he said my nickname and I put my head on his shoulder. Ashton was a good friend and I'm glad to have him. "Thank you for not freaking out." I lowered myself back and he looked at my questionably. "Why would I?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Niall did and now he won't talk to me." I said as I told him what happened that day after school and how he got a text and ran away suddenly. "Wait, you said he got a text?" I nodded and he quickly got up and pulled something out of a bag. "What is that? Is that a phone?"

"Yep and it's Niall's." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion on why he has his phone. "I'm not going to even ask why you have it but what are you going to do with it?" 

"We're going to trace the text."
